Hello people, I'm back to mapping and have just finished my latest map!
Yes, I know that the fell and atmosphere is almost identical to my previous Ctf_Ditched map, but didn't intend it to end up like that. Honest!
It was concieved and built as a Htf map, but after making it I decided it would also be good as a DM (Both are included in the dowload, and are intical apart from spawns). Spawns are spread evenly over the area and powerup are in the top area, although the clusters fall down. Yellow flag is in the bulletproof netting. Health and grenades appear in the side chutes, tempting flaggers into dead ends.

It is pitch-black on my comp.; I literally cannot see ANY polygons whatsoever. What the heck is the Lum on 'em and the BG colors, man? It must be less than 30 or somethin'...

Eh? It's pretty bright on my computer. Black background but you can see everything fine. Something to do with your screen perhaps?

Same here. Only if I look at my screen from the side, I can see a bit.

wierd, I can barely see it, it's pretty (no very) dark. I can make out the map but I think you should make it brighter. Otherwise I think it's quite good!

Yes, I like the setting and all, but really, everyone will get lost in their first time playing on this map...

I can see it just fine, but when working with darker maps what you have to remember is that different people have different brightness/contrast settings on their monitors. So what's bright as day to one person is as black as night to another. There's usual a fine medium of darkness you can work with for both cases.

Unfortunately that's quite difficult to x_o

Well, with that said... from what I see, it's a great map :)

Definitely looks fun to play on, and I'm downloading it now to try it out. Good work!

Nice, lots of spots to hide behind. The brightness is fine on my monitor and my friends say mine is very dark so to the people who say it's too dark: TURN UP YOUR BRIGHTNESS!

You could almost make this a ctf map if you extended on the sides. I like it.
This ends my sudden outburst of replying to maps, I'll be on my way.

Golden-wiseword by SoapStop making dark maps with black backgrounds you [CENSORED]-pirates!

Quoted for truth. I've seen better maps from you, and the darkness truly kills this map. That, and there's not enough contrast in the shading of the structures, which also stabs aesthetics.

Don't worry Demonic, this is my very last super-dark map ;)
